lance armstrong risks hurting himself even more in the hopes of winning sympathy and restoring a lost reputation. oprah says the interview lasted 2 1/2 hours and that armstrong came, quote, ready. it was reported to be an emotional interview but no word as to whether armstrong confessed. it should be noted that the u.s. anti-doping agency has an offer to armstrong to offer him a massive reduction in his lifetime ban, if he comes forward and names names. so far, diane, he has not. >> but it is still breaking news there. and we thank you, neal karlinsky. >>> and we move the next to gun violence, one month to the day after the tragedy in newtown, connecticut. because the president announced today he has a blueprint for action. and we have a poll tonight, showing where we agree in this polarizing debate in this country and where we divide. abc's senior white house correspondent jonathan karl, who questioned the president today, tells us what to expect next. >> reporter: in his first press conference this year, the president vowed quick action on gun violence, with or without congress. >>

>>> we begin with lance armstrong. he's speaking up this morning, ahead now of the big interview with oprah winfrey today. once one of the most revered athletes ever is now expected to admit to blood doping and the use of performance-enhancing drugs. abc's neal karlinsky has followed this story from day one. so, neal, what exactly is neal saying? what are we expecting to hear today? >> reporter: we expect a confession. sources close to armstrong say we can expect to see his human side. they say that he'll speak openly, honestly, and directly with oprah, but likely only offer a limited confession. we know for instance, he has a standing offer on the table with the u.s. anti-doping agency that could reduce his lifetime ban to just about eight years or less even now, if he comes clean and names names. so far, he's not taken them up on that offer. >> so, neal, from the perspective of armstrong's camp, lot of questions about, what is to be gained and lost here? >> reporter: the stakes are huge for armstrong. there are at le
